A boy silhouetted in the archways in Old City Jerusalem's via Dolorosa evokes for all of us who identify with this place, a sense of belonging and home. In a city whose very stones cry out stories of passion and faith, inspiration and meaning, a place to which peoples have been drawn to find their common spiritual identity, this boy is one of us, surrounded by the stones and the stories.

This beautiful Eritrean girl, a descendant of the Queen of Sheba, was orphaned at the age of six, and suffered the loss of her innocence as a child to abuse and servitude. Illiterate and uneducated, she managed by her wits and faith in God, to make her way to freedom in America and eventually returned to her country to begin an orphanage. Her story is told in a book entitled "Castaway Pearls" available by request for $9.00US while supplies last.

They were led to a town in Judea called Bethlehem, and found there a young boy..

This group of women outside a refugee camp in Bethlehem in occupied West Bank represents a flood of memories and impressions from a few years ago.. I long for the day peace with justice will come to this place - God knows these people deserve it and desperately need to find the way to rediscover and mend their kinship as children of the God of Abraham.
